A simple recipe for making crisp, flavorful granola at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries) – added after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, and shredded coconut.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the granola mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Press it down lightly if you prefer larger clusters.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and stir in the dried fruit.
  8. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchy as it cools.
  9. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the nuts lightly before adding them to the oat mixture.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup if you prefer a less sweet granola.
  • If you want a very crunchy texture, bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully.
